Washington announced the coaching move on Thursday. Chillious is the second hire made to Romar's staff in the past two weeks after the hiring of T.J. Otzelberger from Iowa State. Chillious and Otzelberger join a staff that already includes Jim Shaw, Paul Fortier and Brad Jackson. The school said any corresponding moves on the staff would be made in the near future.

Chillious worked at Washington from 2010-12 before leaving to join the staff at Villanova for one season. Chillious says it was hard leaving Washington originally, but that his year coaching and recruiting in the Big East will help as he makes the return to the Huskies program.
